House Sitting in Republic

“This was the first time we used Brooke. I want to give her an awful review, but only so no one else will use her. Brooke was one of the best dog/house sitters we have ever used. She asked how many times per day we wanted check-ins, we specified “oh whenever, you don’t have to go crazy.” She sent me updates in the morning and at night which was perfect. The dogs obviously felt very relaxed because while they were excited to see us, it was more like “oh, you’re home” vs. “ummmm…where have YOU been?” The house was kept in perfect order. She left me a couple of notes as a handoff. I will try to share. She’s that good. (In total sincerity, she was so professional, followed my instructions to a “t” and just obviously loves what she does).”

“Kyle is awesome. He did a great job caring for my dog while I was gone.”

“Katie was excellent with our fur babies! She was kind, caring, and responsible. During her stay, she kept us informed with text and photo updates. Our oldest dog requires insulin injections and eye drops. Katie didn’t have any issues with that and did so with care. We will most definitely be using her again!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats of my own my entire life. I also help my daughter take care of her 4 dogs and 3 cats when she travels. I especially love the senior dogs! I am currently unemployed so I am available full time to take care of your fur babies! I can do daily walks or overnight stays! I prefer to stay in your home as most pets are more comfortable when they are in a familiar environment. I will consider keeping them at my home depending on the circumstances.

“Autumn was awesome and took great care of our cat Baldwin while we were away!”

“Rocky and Daisy loved spending time with Meryk! He was responsible and caring and we are all looking forward to hiring him again.”

“Audrey did an incredible job taking care of our dog and cat! She sent regular updates and I was always assured that our pets were in great hands. We came home to the house just as we left it and the animals as happy as ever.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve owned dogs myself, helped care for neighbors’ pets, and walked friends’ dogs over the years. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and overnight care throughout the week. I understand pets thrive on consistency, and I’m happy to work with your routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard and live in a safe south-side neighborhood with plenty of room for walks and playtime. Whether your pet loves to be active or prefers quiet cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel at home and cared for like family.

“Samantha was a joy to work with. Very friendly and great with our animals. We will definitely be using her again as we felt so comfortable while we’re away.”

“This was our first time using Rover and Paige was our sitter while we were out of town. She stayed at our house with our one dog for five days. She did a wonderful job! She worked well with our dog who has some physical and behavioral special needs. She gave us multiple photos and updates every day to let us know how he was doing and had great communication with us. She also followed all of our requests with our dog and kept our home very clean. We will definitely be requesting Paige to be our sitter again and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Paige!”

“Regina was lovely. She is very responsive to messages (very quickly), friendly, sent multiple updates throughout the day, and most importantly took great care of our kittens and home while we were away. Highly recommend!”

Savannah C.

“Morgan was excellent. She followed the instructions - I didn’t need to repeat anything twice - and took great care of our three dogs. I’m very pleased with her.”

Dinara S.

“Garrett was amazing! He kept my dogs happy and sent updates frequently. He’s a lifesaver!!”

About: I have trained my border collie puppy to do all the basic tricks as well as be calm in public as a hyperactive dog breed. I work full time at a law firm but my free time is ideally spent with pets! My dog and I have a routine for our walks and play time around it so he gets all of his attention. I live on land so my 2 dogs (Border Collie and Golden Retriever) have lots of area to run around and play but it is also fenced in and they never stray. We also have a trail behind the house for walks without disruption. Sometimes we will go to the park for walks or training as well for interaction. We also have kennels in the garage and outside. Caring for pets in a clients home would be completely decided by said client and I would respect their wishes to the best of my ability.

“Kenlee was amazing!!! My girls loved her, she took great care of them, sent me videos and pictures, and great communication! Would highly recommend!”

About: We love dogs! We are called first when any of our friends go out of town. We have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages from older doxies to young mutts and we love large rotties too. We are also okay with special needs dogs and we make sure your dog gets their medications when scheduled. Our lab loves to make new friends with dogs of all sizes. We have a nice privacy fenced in back yard with a kiddie pool to help the dogs keep cool during the summer even though they will spend most of the time inside. Please know that if your pup stays with us he or she will be treated like a part of the family. We love dogs! I help my Dad on his farm only when I'm not scheduled to care for a pup I'm hosting. I'm free to stay at home all day with your pet. I always keep an eye on what's going on. I'm usually outside if our pups are. If I'm watching a pet at your home, I don't make messes.

“Bree went above and beyond for our three animals and our house. Everything felt clean and fresh when we got home, which is an ultimate luxury after being away for several days. Genuinely the best person I've booked on Rover. Bree gave lots of updates and had great questions before and during her stay. Can't wait to book her again!”

“Sydney was really great with my dog Blu. She came over and housesit for me and even went out of her way to go pick up my dog from the groomers for me!! she was very good with blue. I definitely would recommend her to anybody.”

Trisha B.

“Olivia took great care of our three dogs and an axolotl. She stayed at our house and was a very considerate guest leaving the house clean upon her departure. She was very easy to work with. I can’t be more happier with my decision to hire her to watch after our dogs. I highly recommend her.”

Dinara S.

“Sam did a great job wirh my animals, my house was clean when I came home. She communicated with me during the blizzard and was very confidant in what to do if the house lost power. I received plenty of updates on my fur babies. I highly recommended her for dog and house sitting duties.”
